I recently have been dealing with adult acne. Mostly around mouth and low cheeks. I started using Retin A and the speacial cleansing gel morning and night and started to notice more little pimples around jaw line and cheeks. I also use the daily superexfoiant. But it tends to burn.. help?!

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Please do not use any exfoliants while using retin-a. It will over process your skin.

Kind Regards,

Q:

I have mildly oily skin but after a shower ect my face feels dry. I have been using special cleansing gel or dermal clay cleaner and Active moist but I suffer from breakouts that are deep under the skin spots that appear more like lumps with no head.what product would you recommend to prevent the breakouts?

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Breakout Control is an acid-free spot treatment that is non-drying. However, it is very effective. Apply a thin, clear layer to breakouts. Use it under moisturizer, morning and night.

I have eczema, and in need of a good facial cleanser for acne. Is this good to combat acne while being soft on sensitive skin?

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Special Cleansing Gel is a mild cleanser that will deep clean without stripping your skin. You only need the size of a pea, and its safe to use over the eyes. It is for oily, normal, or combination skin.

Q:

Is the special cleansing gel a clear green color? I previously bought a bottle and was filling my small travel size container. Threw away the original bottle. I am pretty sure it is the special cleansing gel, but want to make sure before I repurchase again.

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Yes, this is safe to use during pregnancy.

Q:

Can I use this to remove my make up? I went for a facial and she sold me the special cleansing gel and active moist. I wear foundation to work and am wondering if this is a good product to remove my make up or not. Thanks!

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. For best results, double cleanse at night to thoroughly remove makeup and debris from the day. You can use Precleanse first and follow with Special Cleansing Gel.
